[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 969706, member: 48043"] Yep, the 460 will get 'er done in spades. My brother is using .458 cal. 405 grain hard cast pills re-swaged to .452 and driving them to over 1700 fps in his 460. Shoots very well and hits like a hammer. The odd thing is that it doesn't really seem to do that much more damage than a 44 does when punching through things like wood. I wouldn't doubt that with the extra inertia the 460 will push that wound channel out a few more inches, but it may only be on critters bigger than deer where the 460 shows any real advantage. Let's face it, big bore pistols have a relatively blunt, slow moving slug and better than 200 yards or so the rifle will be the definite choice unless you simply don't have a chance to bring your rifle to bear on game. Things break and are forgotten, so at times you have to hunt with what is left working; imo practice at ranges greater than 50 yards with your handgun has at least some chance of bearing fruit in the game fields.
